Shirley Ballas, 64, enjoys a rare outing with lookalike mother Audrey, 87, in Liverpool as they visit close family and friends for aunt’s 90th birthday bash

Shirley Ballas enjoyed a rare outing with her lookalike mum Audrey in Liverpool on Monday. 

The Strictly Come Dancing judge, 64, and her mother, 87, caught up with close family and friends during her auntie Barbara’s 90th birthday bash. 

Shirley took to Instagram to share sweet snaps from the fun-filled trip, and she cut a chic figure in a beige trench coat for the occasion.

She added to her stylish look with a cream jumper and an orange-print satin scarf, which she styled with black jeans and lace-up military boots.

Shirley was the spitting image of her rarely-seen mother Audrey as they sweetly cuddled up to one another in the pH๏τographs.

Audrey was the epitome of sophistication in a tan trench coat and black leggings, while she kept warm amid the cold climes with a striped scarf.

She added to her frame with a pair of black heeled boots and toted her essentials in a large shoulder bag before heading to the birthday celebrations. 

Shirley also shared pictures with their family and friends as they all gathered to celebrate her aunt Barbara’s milestone 90th birthday. 

She captioned the Instagram snaps: ‘Just got back from a wonderful time in Liverpool with my mum, family and friends. Celebrating my auntie Barbara’s 90th birthday.

‘Great to see old faces. Mum got to see all her friends so I’m happy. We had a beautiful weekend. What have you all got up ? X

‘Thank you to @crow_flies_transfers for transporting us both in style. It’s great to support an old friend. For anyone who needs a taxi or transfer up north, you know where to go.’ (sic)

It comes after Shirley gave an insight into her health and fitness regime as she revealed the eating tip she’s adopted to maintain her size 10 figure.

According to Shirley, eating three meals a day becomes difficult once you hit your sixties.

She told The Sun: ‘The first year on the Strictly Come Dancing tour, I gained ten pounds just in that one month. Then I realised you cannot eat breakfast, lunch and dinner, Shirley, you are over the age of 60!’

She paired the coat with a stylish cream jumper and an orange-print satin scarf as she posed up a storm alongside her mother and driver for the day

Determined to make a change, she decided to skip breakfast and lunch, opting for a hearty dinner instead – typically with rice and lean beef or chicken. 

Shirley, who recently confirmed her split from fiancé Danny Taylor, 51, also practices intermittent fasting. 

She told the publication: ‘I’ve realised the body doesn’t need as much food as I keep stuffing in my face, so I do take care of it.

‘I don’t have anything in the morning and normally around lunch I’ll have a juice, and then about 4 or 5pm my mother does a lovely meal.’ 

Shirley recently revealed that her mother gave her a rice cooker for Christmas, prompting her to swap salads for sticky rice with beef stroganoff.

Eating one meal a day only provides about 750 kcals per day. The average male and female need 2,500 and 2,000 calories daily, respectively, to maintain weight.

Intermittent fasting, particularly the 18:6 method, has gained popularity for weight loss and maintenance.

It allows a six-hour eating window each day, with the remaining 18 hours dedicated to fasting, which helps the body burn fat.

It comes after Shirley revealed her savage secret to maintaining her size 10 figure: only eating one meal a day

Other celebrities, like Jennifer Aniston and Hugh Jackman, follow this fasting regimen as well. 

Shirley’s dedication is influenced by her mother, Audrey, who watches her weight closely. 

Shirley has said her mother only weighs eight stone and carefully monitors her weight, adjusting her diet when necessary. 

Shirley also revealed that she doesn’t see her regimen changing anytime soon, as it works well for her. She even dropped to a size six when she first joined Strictly, but that wasn’t sustainable. 

Despite her strict routine, Shirley allows herself a small treat each day – usually just one cup of coffee – and occasionally enjoys a little cake.
